Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, July 02, 2010

We always carry about in our bodies the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
- 2 Corinthians 4:10

Reflection: The passible and temporal life of Jesus in His Mystical Body--that is, in Christians--has not yet reached completion. It is being completed from day to day in each true Christian, and it will be fully completed only at the end of time.
- St. John Eudes

Prayer: Heavenly Father, imprint on my mind that my task, like that of all Christians, is to build up Christ's Body on earth. Let me do whatever furthers this task and shun whatever hinders it.
